Victoria, your pearls seem to have good luster, and will have some value, higher if saltwater. Are these South Sea or Akoya? My suggestion would be to see what they are selling for on Etsy.com. (Don't bother to look on Ebay.) Search for "Akoya keshi" and you'll find a range. What is the history of these strands? Tiny pearls are in demand currently.

They are saltwater pearl strands I have had for about 30 years but never had strung into a finished necklace
